Consultant
Specialist Optometrist
Diagnostics, refraction and dry eye
Carries out the imaging and refraction that every consultation is built on, and runs the dry eye clinic. Often the person who spots the change on a scan that brings a patient back sooner.
Book a consultationEye conditions
Eye conditions we treat
What each condition is, what people notice first, and when it needs to be looked at.
Cataract
Clouding of the eye’s natural lens — the commonest reason for surgery in adults over sixty.
Glaucoma
Damage to the optic nerve, usually painless, and irreversible once vision is lost.
Age-related macular degeneration
Deterioration at the centre of the retina, affecting the detailed vision you read with.
Dry eye and blepharitis
Gritty, watery, tired eyes — extremely common, frequently misdiagnosed, and very treatable.
Short sight, long sight and astigmatism
Focusing errors that spectacles correct — and that surgery can sometimes remove the need for.
Diabetic eye disease
Damage to the retinal blood vessels, which is why annual screening exists.
Floaters and flashes
Usually harmless and age-related — but a sudden change needs to be looked at quickly.
Appointments
Book a consultation
Consultations are with a consultant ophthalmologist. Allow up to two hours: most examinations involve dilating drops, and you should not plan to drive afterwards.
